Thank You Supreme Court!

     Supreme Court ruling was a 5-3 in favor to overturn the Texas abortion law that was archaic.  It was decided that the Texas law was unconstitutional and against the well-being of the women of Texas.  This decision will not apply to the nine other law suits in the nine other states, but, this does give notice to those states that the Court has made a decision on the tougher of all the law suits.

     This law will take the wind out of the sales of states that have already passed these laws like Louisiana and Wisconsin.
     Pro-Choice advocates see this decision as a great victory today.  The anti-abortion will continue to fight on to end all abortions.  The dissenting votes came from Justices Roberts, Alito and Thomas.
   
     HB2 was being touted as a law for safety for women who wanted abortions.  But, in fact, it made
availability nearly impossible which has become a burden for all Texas women especially low income women.  Cecil Richards, President of Planned Parenthood and also a daughter of Texas was thrilled to hear of this decision.
